Problem:
- When running 'curl ... | bash -s core' the screen would clear
- This made it appear like nothing was happening after preview
- Users couldn't see the installation progress
Solution:
- Only call 'clear' in interactive mode
- Skip clear when NON_INTERACTIVE=true
- Allows users to see full output when piped from curl
Now users can see:
- Dependency checks
- Registry fetch
- Installation preview
- 'Installing automatically' message
- Full installation progress
- Completion message
This makes the installation process transparent and debuggable.
Problem:
- Running 'curl ... | bash -s core' showed preview and waited for input
- User had to press Y to proceed even though profile was specified
- Defeats the purpose of one-command installation
Solution:
- Add NON_INTERACTIVE flag to track command-line profile usage
- Set NON_INTERACTIVE=true when profile argument provided
- Skip confirmation prompt when NON_INTERACTIVE=true
- Show 'Installing automatically (profile specified)...' message
Behavior:
Before:
curl ... | bash -s core
→ Shows preview, waits for Y/n input
After:
curl ... | bash -s core
→ Shows preview, installs automatically
Interactive mode still works:
bash install.sh
→ Shows menu, asks for confirmation (as expected)
This makes profile-based installation truly one-command with no interaction needed.
Problem:
- Running 'curl ... | bash' without arguments showed interactive menu
- But stdin was the curl stream, not terminal
- Script couldn't read user input and would exit silently
- Confusing user experience
Solution:
- Add check_interactive_mode() to detect if stdin is a terminal
- If running in pipe without arguments, show helpful error message
- Provide clear instructions for both interactive and profile-based install
- Update README to clarify installation methods
Changes:
- Add [ ! -t 0 ] check to detect non-terminal stdin
- Show helpful error with examples when piped without profile
- Update README to recommend profile-based install (fastest)
- Clarify that interactive mode requires downloading first
User Experience:
Before: Silent exit or confusing behavior
After: Clear error message with exact commands to run
Examples shown to user:
- Download first: curl ... -o install.sh && bash install.sh
- Or use profile: curl ... | bash -s core
This fixes the issue reported when running on another computer.
- Recreate registry.json with all component definitions
- Fix bash 3.2 compatibility (replace ${var^} with awk)
- Registry was accidentally emptied by registration script
